Why should I modify my steering system?

Depending on your needs and how much off-roading you do, modifying your steering system might not just be a good idea - but mandatory.

Stock components in several areas are either known to be weak or require modification as in the case of lifts. Good examples include tie rod adjusters (weak and prone to breakage/bending when off-roading) or modified centerlink/steering systems as a whole when more aggressive modifications like lifts and tires are installed as the stock part, again - is subject to twisting and quick wear, requiring frequent (and costly) replacement.

Less obvious solutions that also benefit the non-offroading crowd include steering stabilizers. These serve to make the left/right (lateral) movement smoother when encountering rough terrain, potholes or running larger tires/lifts.
